Nachiyaar Tirumozhi (Ta)

Sri Andal attempts various methods by which she can attain union with Kannan.

Nachiar Tirumozhi is a set of 143 verses. In her restlessness and eagerness to join with Kannan, Sri Andal attempts various methods by which she can attain union with Kannan which forms the major part of Nachiyar Thirumozhi. Among the Thirumozhis, Vaaranamaiyiram is very well known and has a special significance. It details Andal's Narration of her dream of her experiences with her thozhis(friends) on her way to achieve her purpose of birth (getting married to kannapiran).

One can view Nachiar Tirumozhi as godA devi’s advice to us on how a jIva in this life should dedicate itself single-mindedly to attaining the paramAtman. What we see at display is the intensity with which this effort should be undertaken, and the impatience that the jIva should feel in achieving this objective at all costs, until the objective is realized. In samskRt, this is called tvarA - it means unbearable haste or speed. An example given to illustrate tvarA is a fish out of water that tries to get back into the water one way or the other to save its life.

These 143 verses are a part of the 4000 hyms of Nalayira Divya Prabandham
